ALMA Helps Observe Fresh New Matter Entering into Jet Base of Black Hole

Two international teams of astronomers have used the power of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to focus on jets from the huge black holes at the centres of galaxies and observe how they affect their surroundings. They have respectively obtained the best view yet of the molecular gas around a nearby, quiet black hole and caught an unexpected glimpse of the base of a powerful jet close to a distant black hole.

Researchers Test Abilities of Topological Insulator Materials to Transport Electrons

Imagine if the "information superhighway" had HOV lanes so that data could be stored, processed and disseminated many times faster than possible with today’s electronics. Researchers in the United States and China have teamed to develop such a speedway for future devices, an exotic type of electrical conductor called a topological insulator (TI).

Combined Study Demonstrates Competing Quantum Effects

The idea that the quantum mechanical behavior of light atoms can be decomposed in different components, and that these components tend to cancel out each other leaving a small net effect has been around for some time in theoretical simulations of hydrogen-bonded systems. Now a combined experimental/computational study provides direct evidence by decomposing the changes in quantum kinetic energy upon melting in heavy water.
